You're going into the real world? :eek:

Good luck with all that!

DrIndy

Me too.... real world will be fun, money and a nice title........

Scruff101

Maybe for you....social workers don't tend to be looked upon quite so kindly as doctors in the real world!!

snorlax

they do a great job, fair play to them as they often get some of the toughest jobs to do.

also dont forget you will get paid a fortune on millage!

DrIndy

Yeah, I know - I was once visited by two social workers who accused me of child abuse. (I live with a flatmate who is of the same age and there are never kids near my house). They were insistent and had no ID and I told them to feck off or I would call the gardai. If they hadn't left they would have gotten a smack from the big stick I keep behind the door (Good thing I didn't have a shotgun ).

The morons got the address wrong - but that does not excuse the illmannered way they engaged me in conversation though.......... It was all cleared up when two other social workers came around to my house politely a few weeks later with decent ID....

But the first two were reported to the gardai and an investigation was started on "fake social workers!"

have to get a car before I get mileage, start work tomorrow week, hope it all goes ok, and I don't get too many tough cases starting off......and as for those social workers, I doubt they were the real deal cos they don't just call to someones house about a child abuse case, there are procedures that have to be followed in such circumstances!!

snorlax

its a very secure job and very good for pension etc.

im sure you'll do fine, once you settle you'll be grand!

They actually turned out to be real social workers. I would never entertain them though without real ID. It was funny with hindsight but at the time, they nearly got a stick/tazer/shotgun and the gardai because I was having none of their brusque approach..... The procedure was they received an anonymous letter, (which they refused to show me) and were "investigating". I informed them they were clearly in error and to please leave and not return under any circumstances without proper ID and the presence of a Garda.

snorlax

im sure the shootgun would have worked!

DrIndy

would have been a definite solution to unprofessional social workers without legitimate ID and being less than polite to innocent citizens.

snorlax

so shoot those who are unprofessional?! i get it, the iron-fist approach....

DrIndy

....in a velvet glove!
